ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.
king james study
LU-1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in
order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among
us,
LU-1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were
eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
LU-1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all
things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most
excellent
Theophilus,
LU-1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
wherein thou
hast been instructed.
LU-1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a
certain priest
named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of
the daughters of
Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.
LU-1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all
the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
LU-1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they
both were [now] well stricken in years.
LU-1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office before
God in the order of his course,
LU-1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot
was to burn
incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
LU-1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying
without at the
time of incense.
LU-1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord
standing on the
right side of the altar of incense.
LU-1:12 And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear
fell upon
him.
LU-1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for
thy prayer is
heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou
shalt call his
name John.
LU-1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall
rejoice at his
birth.
LU-1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and
shall drink
neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the
Holy Ghost,
even from his mother's womb.
LU-1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord their
God.
LU-1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of
Elias, to turn
the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient
to the wisdom
of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
LU-1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know
this? for I
am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
LU-1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel,
that stand in
the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew
thee these
glad tidings.
LU-1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,
until the day
that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not
my words,
which shall be fulfilled in their season.
LU-1:21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that
he tarried so
long in the temple.
LU-1:22 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and
they
perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he
beckoned unto them,
and remained speechless.
LU-1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration
were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
LU-1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and
hid herself
five months, saying,
LU-1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he
looked on
[me], to take away my reproach among men.
LU-1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
LU-1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of
the house of
David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
LU-1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou
that art]
highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou
among women.
LU-1:29 And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying,
and cast in
her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
LU-1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou
hast found
favour with God.
LU-1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS.
LU-1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the
Highest: and
the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
LU-1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.
LU-1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be,
seeing I know not a
man?
LU-1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy
Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God.
LU-1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also
conceived a son in
her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was
called barren.
LU-1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
LU-1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it
unto me
according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
LU-1:39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill
country with
haste, into a city of Juda;
LU-1:40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.
LU-1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the
salutation of
Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with
the Holy
Ghost:
LU-1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed
[art] thou
among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
LU-1:43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord
should come to
me?
LU-1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded
in mine ears,
the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
LU-1:45 And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be
a performance
of those things which were told her from the Lord.
LU-1:46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
LU-1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
LU-1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:
for, behold,
from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
LU-1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and
holy [is] his
name.
LU-1:50 And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from
generation to
generation.
LU-1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered
the proud in
the imagination of their hearts.
LU-1:52 He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and
exalted them of
low degree.
LU-1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the
rich he hath sent
empty away.
LU-1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of
[his] mercy;
LU-1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed
for ever.
LU-1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and
returned to her own
house.
LU-1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be
delivered; and she
brought forth a son.
LU-1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord
had shewed
great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
LU-1:59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came
to circumcise
the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his
father.
LU-1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he
shall be called
John.
LU-1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred
that is called
by this name.
LU-1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have
him called.
LU-1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying,
His name is
John. And they marvelled all.
LU-1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue
[loosed], and he
spake, and praised God.
LU-1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and
all these
sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of
Judaea.
LU-1:66 And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their
hearts,
saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the
Lord was with
him.
LU-1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost,
and
prophesied, saying,
LU-1:68 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath
visited and redeemed
his people,
LU-1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the
house of his
servant David;
LU-1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which
have been since
the world began:
LU-1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the
hand of all
that hate us;
LU-1:72 To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to
remember his
holy covenant;
LU-1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
LU-1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered
out of the hand
of our enemies might serve him without fear,
LU-1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days
of our life.
LU-1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the
Highest: for thou
shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
LU-1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
remission of
their sins,
LU-1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the
dayspring from on
high hath visited us,
LU-1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the
shadow of
death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
LU-1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was
in the
deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
LU-2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
LU-2:2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was
governor of
Syria.)
LU-2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
LU-2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he
was of the house and lineage of David:)
LU-2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great
with child.
LU-2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished
that she should be delivered.
LU-2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for
them in the
inn.
LU-2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
LU-2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the
Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
LU-2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
LU-2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
LU-2:12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
LU-2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
LU-2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward
men.
LU-2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into
heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto
us.
LU-2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe
lying in a manger.
LU-2:17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the
saying which
was told them concerning this child.
LU-2:18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things
which were told
them by the shepherds.
LU-2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in
her heart.
LU-2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the
things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
LU-2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the
circumcising of the
child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he
was conceived in the womb.
LU-2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the
law of Moses
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present
[him] to the
Lord;
LU-2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male
that openeth the
womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
LU-2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is
said in the law
of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
LU-2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name
[was] Simeon;
and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the
consolation of Israel:
and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
LU-2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not
see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
LU-2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents
brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of
the law,
LU-2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and
said,
LU-2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy
word:
LU-2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
LU-2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
LU-2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy
people Israel.
LU-2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken
of him.
LU-2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
Behold, this
[child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel;
and for a sign
which shall be spoken against;
LU-2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,)
that the
thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
LU-2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of
Phanuel, of the
tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an
husband seven
years from her virginity;
LU-2:37 And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years,
which
departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and
prayers night
and day.
LU-2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise
unto the Lord,
and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem.
LU-2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the
law of the
Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
LU-2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom:
and the grace of God was upon him.
LU-2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the
feast of the
passover.
LU-2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to
Jerusalem after the
custom of the feast.
LU-2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,
the child
Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother
knew not [of it].
LU-2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company,
went a day's
journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and
acquaintance.
LU-2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem,
seeking him.
LU-2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found
him in the
temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them,
and asking
them questions.
LU-2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his
understanding and
answers.
LU-2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother
said unto
him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father
and I have
sought thee sorrowing.
LU-2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?
wist ye not that
I must be about my Father's business?
LU-2:50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto
them.
LU-2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and
was subject
unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
LU-2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in
favour with God and
man.
LU-3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius
Caesar, Pontius
Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of
Galilee, and his
brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of
Trachonitis, and
Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
LU-3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of
God came unto
John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
LU-3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching
the baptism
of repentance for the remission of sins;
LU-3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight.
LU-3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and
hill shall be
brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the
rough ways [shall
be] made smooth;
LU-3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
LU-3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be
baptized of him, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath
to come?
LU-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and
begin not to
say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I
say unto you,
That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
LU-3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
every tree
therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the
fire.
LU-3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do
then?
LU-3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two
coats, let him
impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do
likewise.
LU-3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto
him, Master,
what shall we do?
LU-3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed
you.
LU-3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And
what shall we
do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse
[any]
falsely; and be content with your wages.
LU-3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men
mused in their
hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
LU-3:16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize
you with
water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not
worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and
with fire:
LU-3:17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge
his floor,
and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will
burn with
fire unquenchable.
LU-3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he
unto the people.
LU-3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for
Herodias his
brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done,
LU-3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in
prison.
LU-3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,
that Jesus
also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
LU-3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a
dove upon him,
and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
Son; in thee I
am well pleased.
LU-3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age,
being (as
was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli,
LU-3:24 Which was [the son] of Matthat, which was [the son] of
Levi, which

which was [the

Addi, which was
[the son] of Cosam, which was [the son] of Elmodam, which was

Menan, which was
[the son] of Mattatha, which was [the son] of Nathan, which was
[the son] of
David,
LU-3:32 Which was [the son] of Jesse, which was [the son] of
Obed, which was
[the son] of Booz, which was [the son] of Salmon, which was [the
son] of
Naasson,
LU-3:33 Which was [the son] of Aminadab, which was [the son] of
Aram, which
was [the son] of Esrom, which was [the son] of Phares, which was
[the son] of
Juda,
LU-3:34 Which was [the son] of Jacob, which was [the son] of
Isaac, which was
[the son] of Abraham, which was [the son] of Thara, which was
[the son] of

Ragau, which
was [the son] of Phalec, which was [the son] of Heber, which was
[the son] of
Sala,
LU-3:36 Which was [the son] of Cainan, which was [the son] of
Arphaxad, which
was [the son] of Sem, which was [the son] of Noe, which was [the
son] of
Lamech,
LU-3:37 Which was [the son] of Mathusala, which was [the son]
of Enoch, which
was [the son] of Jared, which was [the son] of Maleleel, which
was [the son]
of Cainan,
LU-3:38 Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of
Seth, which was
[the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God.
LU-4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from
Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
LU-4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days
he did eat
nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
LU-4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
command this
stone that it be made bread.
LU-4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man
shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word of God.
LU-4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain,
shewed unto him
all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
LU-4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give
thee, and the
glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever
I will I give
it.
LU-4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
LU-4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for
it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou
serve.
LU-4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a
pinnacle of the
temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from
hence:
LU-4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep
thee:
LU-4:11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at
any time thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
LU-4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou
shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.
LU-4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he
departed from him
for a season.
LU-4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into
Galilee: and there
went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
LU-4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of
all.
LU-4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:
and, as his
custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up for to
read.
LU-4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was
written,
LU-4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath
anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to
the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised,
LU-4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
LU-4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the
minister, and
sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on
him.
LU-4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled
in your ears.
LU-4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
words which
proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's
son?
LU-4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this
proverb,
Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in
Capernaum, do also
here in thy country.
LU-4:24 And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is
accepted in his
own country.
LU-4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel
in the days of
Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months,
when great
famine was throughout all the land;
LU-4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta,
[a city] of
Sidon, unto a woman [that was] a widow.
LU-4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus
the prophet;
and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
LU-4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these
things, were
filled with wrath,
LU-4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led
him unto the
brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might
cast him down
headlong.
LU-4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
LU-4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and
taught them on the
sabbath days.
LU-4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word
was with
power.
LU-4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a
spirit of an
unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
LU-4:34 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee,
[thou] Jesus of
Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art;
the Holy One
of God.
LU-4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come
out of him.
And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of
him, and hurt
him not.
LU-4:36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves,
saying, What a
word [is] this! for with authority and power he commandeth the
unclean
spirits, and they come out.
LU-4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the
country round
about.
LU-4:38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into
Simon's house.
And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they
besought him
for her.
LU-4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it
left her: and
immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
LU-4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any
sick with divers
diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every
one of them,
and healed them.
LU-4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and
saying, Thou art
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not
to speak: for
they knew that he was Christ.
LU-4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert
place: and
the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that
he should not
depart from them.
LU-4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God
to other
cities also: for therefore am I sent.
LU-4:44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
LU-5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon
him to hear the
word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
LU-5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the
fishermen were gone
out of them, and were washing [their] nets.
LU-5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's,
and prayed
him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat
down, and
taught the people out of the ship.
LU-5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon,
Launch out into the
deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
LU-5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have
toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will
let down the
net.
LU-5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great
multitude of
fishes: and their net brake.
LU-5:7 And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which were in
the other ship,
that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled
both the ships,
so that they began to sink.
LU-5:8 When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees,
saying,
Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
LU-5:9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at
the draught of
the fishes which they had taken:
LU-5:10 And so [was] also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee,
which were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
henceforth thou
shalt catch men.
LU-5:11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they
forsook all, and
followed him.
LU-5:12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city,
behold a man full
of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his] face, and besought
him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
LU-5:13 And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I
will: be thou
clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
LU-5:14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew
thyself to the
priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
commanded, for a
testimony unto them.
LU-5:15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him:
and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of
their
infirmities.
LU-5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
LU-5:17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was
teaching, that there
were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were
come out of every
town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the
Lord was
[present] to heal them.
LU-5:18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken
with a palsy:
and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before
him.
LU-5:19 And when they could not find by what [way] they might
bring him in
because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let
him down
through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Jesus.
LU-5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy
sins are
forgiven thee.
LU-5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason,
saying, Who is
this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God
alone?
LU-5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering
said unto them,
What reason ye in your hearts?
LU-5:23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee;
or to say, Rise
up and walk?
LU-5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power
upon earth to
forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto
thee, Arise,
and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
LU-5:25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up
that whereon he
lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
LU-5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and
were filled
with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
LU-5:27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a
publican, named Levi,
sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow
me.
LU-5:28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
LU-5:29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and
there was a
great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
LU-5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
disciples,
saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
LU-5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole
need not a
physician; but they that are sick.
LU-5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
LU-5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John
fast often, and
make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of the Pharisees; but
thine eat and
drink?
LU-5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
bridechamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
LU-5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken away from
them, and then shall they fast in those days.
LU-5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a
piece of a
new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh
a rent, and
the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the
old.
LU-5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the
new wine will
burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
LU-5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
preserved.
LU-5:39 No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway
desireth new: for he
saith, The old is better.
LU-6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the
first, that he
went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears
of corn, and
did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.
LU-6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye
that which is
not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
LU-6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much
as this, what
David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were
with him;
LU-6:4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat
the shewbread,
and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful
to eat but
for the priests alone?
LU-6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also
of the
sabbath.
LU-6:6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he
entered into the
synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was
withered.
LU-6:7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he
would heal on
the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
LU-6:8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which
had the withered
hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and
stood forth.
LU-6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is
it lawful on
the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to
destroy [it]?
LU-6:10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the
man, Stretch
forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole
as the other.
LU-6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one
with another what
they might do to Jesus.
LU-6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out
into a mountain
to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
LU-6:13 And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples:
and of them
he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
LU-6:14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his
brother, James and
John, Philip and Bartholomew,
LU-6:15 Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and
Simon called
Zelotes,
LU-6:16 And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot,
which also was
the traitor.
LU-6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and
the company
of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all
Judaea and
Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came
to hear him,
and to be healed of their diseases;
LU-6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they
were healed.
LU-6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there
went virtue
out of him, and healed [them] all.
LU-6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,
Blessed [be ye]
poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
LU-6:21 Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be
filled. Blessed
[are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
LU-6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they
shall separate
you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out
your name as
evil, for the Son of man's sake.
LU-6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold,
your reward
[is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers
unto the
prophets.
LU-6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received
your
consolation.
LU-6:25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe
unto you that
laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
LU-6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for
so did their
fathers to the false prophets.
LU-6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do
good to them
which hate you,
LU-6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
despitefully use
you.
LU-6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer
also the
other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not [to take
thy] coat also.
LU-6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that
taketh away
thy goods ask [them] not again.
LU-6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also
to them
likewise.
LU-6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?
for sinners
also love those that love them.
LU-6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what
thank have ye?
for sinners also do even the same.
LU-6:34 And if ye lend [to them] of whom ye hope to receive,
what thank have
ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
LU-6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping
for nothing
again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
children of the
Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
LU-6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is
merciful.
LU-6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and
ye shall not
be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
LU-6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and
shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
bosom. For with
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you
again.
LU-6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead
the blind? shall
they not both fall into the ditch?
LU-6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one
that is perfect
shall be as his master.
LU-6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother's eye, but
perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
LU-6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let
me pull out
the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not
the beam that
is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out
of thine own
eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that
is in thy
brother's eye.
LU-6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit;
neither doth a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
LU-6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns
men do not
gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
LU-6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that
which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his
mouth
speaketh.
LU-6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say?
LU-6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and
doeth them, I
will shew you to whom he is like:
LU-6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep,
and laid the
foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat
vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon
a rock.
LU-6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that
without a
foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the
stream did beat
vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house
was great.
LU-7:1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of
the people,
he entered into Capernaum.
LU-7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him,
was sick,
and ready to die.
LU-7:3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
of the Jews,
beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
LU-7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
saying, That
he was worthy for whom he should do this:
LU-7:5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a
synagogue.
LU-7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far
from the house,
the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord,
trouble not thyself:
for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
LU-7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto
thee: but say
in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
LU-7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
soldiers, and
I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to
my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
LU-7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and
turned him
about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto
you, I have not
found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
LU-7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found
the servant
whole that had been sick.
LU-7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a
city called
Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
LU-7:12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold,
there was a
dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a
widow: and
much people of the city was with her.
LU-7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,
and said unto
her, Weep not.
LU-7:14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare
[him] stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
LU-7:15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
delivered him
to his mother.
LU-7:16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God,
saying, That a
great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited
his people.
LU-7:17 And this rumor of him went forth throughout all Judaea,
and
throughout all the region round about.
LU-7:18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these
things.
LU-7:19 And John calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent
[them] to
Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for
another?
LU-7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John
Baptist hath sent us
unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for
another?
LU-7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of [their]
infirmities and
plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many [that were] blind he
gave sight.
LU-7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and
tell John what
things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame
walk, the
lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the
poor the
gospel is preached.
LU-7:23 And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in
me.
LU-7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began
to speak unto
the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness
for to see? A
reed shaken with the wind?
LU-7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment?
Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live
delicately, are in
kings' courts.
LU-7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
unto you, and
much more than a prophet.
LU-7:27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
LU-7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women
there is not a
greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in
the kingdom of
God is greater than he.
LU-7:29 And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans,
justified
God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
LU-7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of
God against
themselves, being not baptized of him.
LU-7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men
of this
generation? and to what are they like?
LU-7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace,
and calling
one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have
not danced; we
have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
LU-7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor
drinking wine; and
ye say, He hath a devil.
LU-7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say,
Behold a
gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners!
LU-7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
LU-7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat
with him. And
he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
LU-7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew
that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an
alabaster box of
ointment,
LU-7:38 And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began
to wash his
feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head,
and kissed
his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.
LU-7:39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he
spake within
himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have
known who and what
manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
LU-7:40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have
somewhat to say unto
thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
LU-7:41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the
one owed five
hundred pence, and the other fifty.
LU-7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave
them both. Tell
me therefore, which of them will love him most?
LU-7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom
he forgave
most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
LU-7:44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest
thou this
woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for
my feet: but
she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the
hairs of her
head.
LU-7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I
came in hath
not ceased to kiss my feet.
LU-7:46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman
hath anointed
my feet with ointment.
LU-7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many,
are forgiven;
for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same]
loveth little.
LU-7:48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
LU-7:49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
themselves,
Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
LU-7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go
in peace.
LU-8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout
every city and
village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom
of God: and the
twelve [were] with him,
LU-8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits
and
infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils,
LU-8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and
Susanna, and many
others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
LU-8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were
come to him out
of every city, he spake by a parable:
LU-8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some
fell by the
way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air
devoured it.
LU-8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung
up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture.
LU-8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up
with it, and
choked it.
LU-8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare
fruit an
hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He
that hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
LU-8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this
parable be?
LU-8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries
of the
kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they
might not see, and
hearing they might not understand.
LU-8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
LU-8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh
the devil, and
taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
believe and be
saved.
LU-8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear,
receive the word
with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and
in time of
temptation fall away.
LU-8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when
they have
heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and
pleasures of [this]
life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
LU-8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an
honest and good
heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit
with patience.
LU-8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with
a vessel, or
putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick,
that they which
enter in may see the light.
LU-8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither [any
thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
LU-8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to
him shall be
given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
which he
seemeth to have.
LU-8:19 Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and
could not come at
him for the press.
LU-8:20 And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother
and thy
brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
LU-8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my
brethren are
these which hear the word of God, and do it.
LU-8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into
a ship with
his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the
other side of
the lake. And they launched forth.
LU-8:23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down
a storm of
wind on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in
jeopardy.
LU-8:24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master,
master, we
perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of
the water: and
they ceased, and there was a calm.
LU-8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they
being afraid
wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for
he commandeth
even the winds and water, and they obey him.
LU-8:26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which
is over
against Galilee.
LU-8:27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of
the city a
certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes,
neither abode in
[any] house, but in the tombs.
LU-8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before
him, and with a
loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son
of God most
high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
LU-8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of
the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains
and in
fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil
into the
wilderness.)
LU-8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he
said, Legion:
because many devils were entered into him.
LU-8:31 And they besought him that he would not command them to
go out into
the deep.
LU-8:32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on
the mountain:
and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into
them. And he
suffered them.
LU-8:33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into
the swine: and
the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and
were choked.
LU-8:34 When they that fed [them] saw what was done, they fled,
and went and
told [it] in the city and in the country.
LU-8:35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to
Jesus, and found
the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the
feet of Jesus,
clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
LU-8:36 They also which saw [it] told them by what means he
that was
possessed of the devils was healed.
LU-8:37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the
Gadarenes round about
besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great
fear: and he
went up into the ship, and returned back again.
LU-8:38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed
besought him that he
might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
LU-8:39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things
God hath done
unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the
whole city how
great things Jesus had done unto him.
LU-8:40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the
people
[gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.
LU-8:41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was
a ruler of the
synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him
that he would
come into his house:
LU-8:42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,
and she lay
a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
LU-8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,
which had spent
all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
LU-8:44 Came behind [him], and touched the border of his
garment: and
immediately her issue of blood stanched.
LU-8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter
and they that
were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press
[thee], and
sayest thou, Who touched me?
LU-8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I
perceive that virtue
is gone out of me.
LU-8:47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came
trembling, and
falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the
people for what
cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
LU-8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy
faith hath
made thee whole; go in peace.
LU-8:49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of
the
synagogue's [house], saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the
Master.
LU-8:50 But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe
only, and she shall be made whole.
LU-8:51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to
go in, save
Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the
maiden.
LU-8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not;
she is not
dead, but sleepeth.
LU-8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was
dead.
LU-8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and
called,
saying, Maid, arise.
LU-8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway:
and he
commanded to give her meat.
LU-8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them
that they should
tell no man what was done.
LU-9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave
them power and
authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
LU-9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to
heal the sick.
LU-9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey,
neither
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
two coats
apiece.
LU-9:4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and
thence depart.
LU-9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of
that city, shake
off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
LU-9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching
the gospel,
and healing every where.
LU-9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him:
and he was
perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen
from the
dead;
LU-9:8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others,
that one of the
old prophets was risen again.
LU-9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this,
of whom I hear
such things? And he desired to see him.
LU-9:10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all
that they had
done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert
place belonging
to the city called Bethsaida.
LU-9:11 And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and
he received
them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them
that had need
of healing.
LU-9:12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the
twelve, and said
unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the
towns and country
round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a
desert place.
LU-9:13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they
said, We have no
more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy
meat for all
this people.
LU-9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to
his disciples,
Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
LU-9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
LU-9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and
looking up to
heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to
set before
the multitude.
LU-9:17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was
taken up of
fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
LU-9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his
disciples were with
him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
LU-9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say],
Elias; and
others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
LU-9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter
answering said,
The Christ of God.
LU-9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to
tell no man
that thing;
LU-9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
rejected of
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be
raised the
third day.
LU-9:23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after
me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
LU-9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but
whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
LU-9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole
world, and lose
himself, or be cast away?
LU-9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words,
of him shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory,
and [in his]
Father's, and of the holy angels.
LU-9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here,
which shall
not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
LU-9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these
sayings, he took
Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
LU-9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was
altered, and his
raiment [was] white [and] glistering.
LU-9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were
Moses and
Elias:
LU-9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which
he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
LU-9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with
sleep: and when
they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood
with him.
LU-9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter
said unto
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make
three
tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:
not knowing
what he said.
LU-9:34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and
overshadowed them: and
they feared as they entered into the cloud.
LU-9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved
Son: hear him.
LU-9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And
they kept
[it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things
which they had
seen.
LU-9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they
were come down
from the hill, much people met him.
LU-9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying,
Master, I
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
LU-9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth
out; and it
teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly
departeth from him.
LU-9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they
could not.
LU-9:41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse
generation, how
long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
LU-9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down,
and tare [him].
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and
delivered him
again to his father.
LU-9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.
But while they
wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto
his disciples,
LU-9:44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son
of man shall
be delivered into the hands of men.
LU-9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid
from them, that
they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
LU-9:46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them
should be
greatest.
LU-9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took
a child, and
set him by him,
LU-9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child
in my name
receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that
sent me: for
he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
LU-9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting
out devils in
thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
LU-9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that
is not against
us is for us.
LU-9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he
should be
received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
LU-9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into
a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
LU-9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as
though he would
go to Jerusalem.
LU-9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they
said, Lord,
wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them,
even as Elias did?
LU-9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not
what manner of
spirit ye are of.
LU-9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives,
but to save
[them]. And they went to another village.
LU-9:57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a
certain [man]
said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
LU-9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of
the air
[have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his]
head.
LU-9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,
suffer me
first to go and bury my father.
LU-9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but
go thou and
preach the kingdom of God.
LU-9:61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but
let me first go
bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
LU-9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to
the plough,
and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
LU-10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy
also, and sent
them two and two before his face into every city and place,
whither he himself
would come.
LU-10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is]
great, but the
labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would
send forth labourers into his harvest.
LU-10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among
wolves.
LU-10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute
no man by the
way.
LU-10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace
[be] to this
house.
LU-10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest
upon it: if
not, it shall turn to you again.
LU-10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such
things as they
give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house
to house.
LU-10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you,
eat such
things as are set before you:
LU-10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them,
The kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.
LU-10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive
you not, go your
ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
LU-10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us,
we do wipe
off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the
kingdom of God
is come nigh unto you.
LU-10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in
that day for
Sodom, than for that city.
LU-10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for
if the mighty
works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in
you, they had a
great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
LU-10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the judgment,
than for you.
LU-10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven,
shalt be thrust
down to hell.
LU-10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth
you despiseth
me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
LU-10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord,
even the
devils are subject unto us through thy name.
LU-10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning
fall from heaven.
LU-10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you.
LU-10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject
unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in
heaven.
LU-10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I
thank thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these
things from the
wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so,
Father; for so
it seemed good in thy sight.
LU-10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no
man knoweth who
the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son,
and [he] to
whom the Son will reveal [him].
LU-10:23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said
privately, Blessed
[are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:
LU-10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have
desired to see
those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear
those things
which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
LU-10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted
him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
LU-10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how
readest thou?
LU-10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and
with all thy
mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
LU-10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this
do, and thou
shalt live.
LU-10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus,
And who is my
neighbour?
LU-10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down
from Jerusalem
to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and
wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
LU-10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that
way: and when he
saw him, he passed by on the other side.
LU-10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came
and looked [on
him], and passed by on the other side.
LU-10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where
he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
LU-10:34 And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in
oil and wine,
and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and
took care of him.
LU-10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two
pence, and gave
[them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou
spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
LU-10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that
fell among the thieves?
LU-10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said
Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
LU-10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered
into a certain
village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her
house.
LU-10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at
Jesus' feet, and
heard his word.
LU-10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came
to him, and
said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to
serve alone? bid
her therefore that she help me.
LU-10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha,
thou art
careful and troubled about many things:
LU-10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that
good part, which
shall not be taken away from her.
LU-11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a
certain place, when
he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to
pray, as John
also taught his disciples.
LU-11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father
which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
as in
heaven, so in earth.
LU-11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
LU-11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one
that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us
from evil.
LU-11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,
and shall go
unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three
loaves;
LU-11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and
I have nothing
to set before him?
LU-11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not:
the door is
now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and
give thee.
LU-11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him,
because he is
his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give
him as many
as he needeth.
LU-11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
LU-11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
LU-11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a
father, will he
give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give
him a
serpent?
LU-11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion?
LU-11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your
children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to
them that ask him?
LU-11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And
it came to
pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the
people wondered.
LU-11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub the
chief of the devils.
LU-11:16 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from
heaven.
LU-11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every
kingdom
divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house
[divided] against
a house falleth.
LU-11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall
his kingdom
stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
LU-11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
sons cast
[them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
LU-11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no
doubt the
kingdom of God is come upon you.
LU-11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods
are in peace:
LU-11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and
overcome him,
he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and
divideth his spoils.
LU-11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that
gathereth not with
me scattereth.
LU-11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return
unto my house
whence I came out.
LU-11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and
garnished.
LU-11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits
more wicked
than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last
[state] of that
man is worse than the first.
LU-11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a
certain woman of
the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is]
the womb that
bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
LU-11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear
the word of
God, and keep it.
LU-11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he
began to say,
This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no
sign be given
it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
LU-11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall
also the Son of
man be to this generation.
LU-11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment
with the men of
this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost
parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than
Solomon [is]
here.
LU-11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with
this
generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the
preaching of Jonas;
and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
LU-11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in
a secret
place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they
which come in
may see the light.
LU-11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine
eye is
single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine
eye] is evil,
thy body also [is] full of darkness.
LU-11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be
not darkness.
LU-11:36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having
no part dark,
the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of
a candle doth
give thee light.
LU-11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to
dine with him:
and he went in, and sat down to meat.
LU-11:38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he
had not first
washed before dinner.
LU-11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make
clean the
outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full
of ravening
and wickedness.
LU-11:40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without
make that
which is within also?
LU-11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and,
behold, all
things are clean unto you.
LU-11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue
and all
manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God:
these ought ye to
have done, and not to leave the other undone.
LU-11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost
seats in the
synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
LU-11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye are as
graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are
not aware [of
them].
LU-11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him,
Master, thus
saying thou reproachest us also.
LU-11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye
lade men with
burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the
burdens with one
of your fingers.
LU-11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the
prophets, and your
fathers killed them.
LU-11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
fathers: for
they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
LU-11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send
them prophets and
apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:
LU-11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed
from the
foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
LU-11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias,
which perished
between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It
shall be required
of this generation.
LU-11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key
of knowledge:
ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye
hindered.
LU-11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and
the Pharisees
began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of
many things:
LU-11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something
out of his
mouth, that they might accuse him.
LU-12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an
innumerable
multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another,
he began to
say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of
the Pharisees,
which is hypocrisy.
LU-12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be known.
LU-12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall
be heard in the
light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall
be proclaimed
upon the housetops.
LU-12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them
that kill the
body, and after that have no more that they can do.
LU-12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him,
which after he
hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you,
Fear him.
LU-12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not
one of them is
forgotten before God?
LU-12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not
therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
LU-12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before
men, him shall
the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
LU-12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied
before the angels
of God.
LU-12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of
man, it shall be
forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy
Ghost it shall
not be forgiven.
LU-12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and
[unto] magistrates,
and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer,
or what ye
shall say:
LU-12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour
what ye ought to
say.
LU-12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to
my brother,
that he divide the inheritance with me.
LU-12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a
divider over
you?
LU-12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which
he possesseth.
LU-12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground
of a certain
rich man brought forth plentifully:
LU-12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I
have no room where to bestow my fruits?
LU-12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build
greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
LU-12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
LU-12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy
soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou
hast provided?
LU-12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is
not rich
toward God.
LU-12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto
you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body,
what ye shall
put on.
LU-12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body [is more]
than raiment.
LU-12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap;
which neither
have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more
are ye better
than the fowls?
LU-12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his
stature one
cubit?
LU-12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye
thought for the rest?
LU-12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they
spin not; and
yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of
these.
LU-12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in
the field, and
to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe]
you, O ye of
little faith?
LU-12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink, neither
be ye of doubtful mind.
LU-12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek
after: and
your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
LU-12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these
things shall be
added unto you.
LU-12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to
give you the kingdom.
LU-12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves
bags which wax
not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no
thief
approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
LU-12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
LU-12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights
burning;
LU-12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their
lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open
unto him immediately.
LU-12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he
cometh shall
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself,
and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
LU-12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in
the third
watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
LU-12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had
known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have
suffered his house
to be broken through.
LU-12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh
at an hour
when ye think not.
LU-12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this
parable unto us,
or even to all?
LU-12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
steward, whom
[his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them
their] portion
of meat in due season?
LU-12:43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find
so doing.
LU-12:44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler
over all that
he hath.
LU-12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his
coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and
to eat and
drink, and to be drunken;
LU-12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he
looketh not for
[him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in
sunder, and
will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
LU-12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and
prepared not
[himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten
with many
[stripes].
LU-12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall
be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall
be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him
they will ask
the more.
LU-12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I,
if it be
already kindled?
LU-12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
straitened
till it be accomplished!
LU-12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I
tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
LU-12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house
divided, three
against two, and two against three.
LU-12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the
son against the
father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter
against the mother;
the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter
in law against
her mother in law.
LU-12:54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud
rise out of the
west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
LU-12:55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There
will be heat;
and it cometh to pass.
LU-12:56 [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky
and of the
earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
LU-12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is
right?
LU-12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate,
[as thou
art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered
from him; lest
he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the
officer, and the
officer cast thee into prison.
LU-12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou
hast paid the
very last mite.
LU-13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of
the
Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
LU-13:2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that
these Galilaeans
were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered
such things?
LU-13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
LU-13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell,
and slew them,
think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in
Jerusalem?
LU-13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish.
LU-13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig
tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found
none.
LU-13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold,
these three
years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut
it down; why
cumbereth it the ground?
LU-13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this
year also,
till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
LU-13:9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after
that thou
shalt cut it down.
LU-13:10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
sabbath.
LU-13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of
infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise
lift up
[herself].
LU-13:12 And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and
said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
LU-13:13 And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she
was made
straight, and glorified God.
LU-13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with
indignation, because
that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the
people, There are
six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and
be healed, and
not on the sabbath day.
LU-13:15 The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite,
doth not
each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or [his] ass from
the stall, and
lead [him] away to watering?
LU-13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan
hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond
on the sabbath
day?
LU-13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries
were ashamed:
and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that
were done by him.
LU-13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?
and whereunto
shall I resemble it?
LU-13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and cast into
his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls
of the air
lodged in the branches of it.
LU-13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom
of God?
LU-13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
measures of
meal, till the whole was leavened.
LU-13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,
and
journeying toward Jerusalem.
LU-13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be
saved? And he
said unto them,
LU-13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say
unto you,
will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
LU-13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and
hath shut to the
door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door,
saying, Lord,
Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know
you not
whence ye are:
LU-13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in
thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets.
LU-13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye
are; depart
from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
LU-13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye
shall see
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the
kingdom of God,
and you [yourselves] thrust out.
LU-13:29 And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west,
and from the
north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom
of God.
LU-13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and
there are
first which shall be last.
LU-13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees,
saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
LU-13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox,
Behold, I cast out
devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day]
I shall be
perfected.
LU-13:33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and
the [day]
following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem.
LU-13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets,
and stonest them
that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy
children
together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings,
and ye would
not!
LU-13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and
verily I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall
say, Blessed
[is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
LU-14:1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one
of the chief
Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
LU-14:2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which
had the dropsy.
LU-14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and
Pharisees, saying, Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
LU-14:4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and
healed him, and let
him go;
LU-14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an
ass or an ox
fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the
sabbath day?
LU-14:6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
LU-14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden,
when he marked
how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
LU-14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not
down in the
highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of
him;
LU-14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee,
Give this man
place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
LU-14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the
lowest room; that
when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go
up higher:
then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at
meat with
thee.
LU-14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he
that humbleth
himself shall be exalted.
LU-14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou
makest a dinner or
a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor
[thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a
recompence be made
thee.
LU-14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame,
the blind:
LU-14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
thee: for thou
shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
LU-14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard
these things,
he said unto him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the
kingdom of God.
LU-14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great
supper, and bade
many:
LU-14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them
that were bidden,
Come; for all things are now ready.
LU-14:18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse.
The first said
unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go
and see it: I
pray thee have me excused.
LU-14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and
I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused.
LU-14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore
I cannot
come.
LU-14:21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things.
Then the
master of the house being angry said to his servant, go out
quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and
the maimed,
and the halt, and the blind.
LU-14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
LU-14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
commanded, and
yet there is room.
LU-14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the
highways and
hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be
filled.
LU-14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were
bidden shall
taste of my supper.
LU-14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he
turned, and said
unto them,
LU-14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and
mother, and
wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own
life also, he
cannot be my disciple.
LU-14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after
me, cannot be
my disciple.
LU-14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down
first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to
finish [it]?
LU-14:29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is
not able to
finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
LU-14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to
finish.
LU-14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king,
sitteth not
down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand
to meet him
that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
LU-14:32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he
sendeth an
ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
LU-14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not
all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple.
LU-14:34 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith
shall it be seasoned?
LU-14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the
dunghill; [but] men
cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
LU-15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners
for to hear
him.
LU-15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This
man receiveth
sinners, and eateth with them.
LU-15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
LU-15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose
one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go
after that which
is lost, until he find it?
LU-15:5 And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his
shoulders,
rejoicing.
LU-15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his]
friends and
neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found
my sheep which
was lost.
LU-15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons,
which need no
repentance.
LU-15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she
lose one piece,
doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek
diligently till she
find [it]?
LU-15:9 And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends
and [her]
neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found
the piece which
I had lost.
LU-15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence
of the angels
of God over one sinner that repenteth.
LU-15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
LU-15:12 And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father,
give me the
portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided unto them
[his] living.
LU-15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all
together, and
took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his
substance with
riotous living.
LU-15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine
in that land;
and he began to be in want.
LU-15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that
country; and he
sent him into his fields to feed swine.
LU-15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks
that the
swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
LU-15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired
servants of my
father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with
hunger!
LU-15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto
him, Father, I
have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
LU-15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as
one of thy
hired servants.
LU-15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was
yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and
fell on his
neck, and kissed him.
LU-15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
LU-15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the
best robe, and
put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his]
feet:
LU-15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and
let us eat, and
be merry:
LU-15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was
lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry.
LU-15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and
drew nigh to
the house, he heard music and dancing.
LU-15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what
these things
meant.
LU-15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy
father hath
killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and
sound.
LU-15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came
his father
out, and entreated him.
LU-15:29 And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many
years do I
serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment:
and yet thou
never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
LU-15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath
devoured thy living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
LU-15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and
all that I
have is thine.
LU-15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad:
for this thy
brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
LU-16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a
certain rich man,
which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he
had wasted his
goods.
LU-16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I
hear this of
thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no
longer
steward.
LU-16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do?
for my lord
taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am
ashamed.
LU-16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of
the stewardship,
they may receive me into their houses.
LU-16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him],
and said
unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
LU-16:6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said
unto him, Take
thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
LU-16:7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And
he said, An
hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill,
and write
fourscore.
LU-16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he
had done
wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation
wiser than the
children of light.
LU-16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the
mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into
everlasting
habitations.
LU-16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful
also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
LU-16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
LU-16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is
another man's, who
shall give you that which is your own?
LU-16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.
LU-16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all
these things:
and they derided him.
LU-16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify
yourselves before
men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly
esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God.
LU-16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that
time the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
LU-16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than
one tittle of
the law to fail.
LU-16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
committeth
adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her]
husband
committeth adultery.
LU-16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in
purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
LU-16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which
was laid at his
gate, full of sores,
LU-16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich
man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
LU-16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was
carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried;
LU-16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,
and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
LU-16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on
me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and
cool my tongue;
for I am tormented in this flame.
LU-16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is
comforted,
and thou art tormented.
LU-16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a
great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither
can they pass
to us, that [would come] from thence.
LU-16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send
him to my father's house:
LU-16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto
them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.
LU-16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the
prophets; let them
hear them.
LU-16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto
them from the
dead, they will repent.
LU-16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the
prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
LU-17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but
that offences
will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!
LU-17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck,
and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of
these little ones.
LU-17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass
against thee, rebuke
him; and if he repent, forgive him.
LU-17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,
and seven times
in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt
forgive him.
LU-17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
LU-17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye
might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the
root, and be thou
planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
LU-17:7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding
cattle, will
say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and
sit down to
meat?
LU-17:8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith
I may sup, and
gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and
afterward thou
shalt eat and drink?
LU-17:9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things
that were
commanded him? I trow not.
LU-17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those
things which are
commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done
that which was
our duty to do.
LU-17:11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he
passed through
the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
LU-17:12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met
him ten men that
were lepers, which stood afar off:
LU-17:13 And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus,
Master, have
mercy on us.
LU-17:14 And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go shew
yourselves unto
the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were
cleansed.
LU-17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed,
turned back, and
with a loud voice glorified God,
LU-17:16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him
thanks: and he
was a Samaritan.
LU-17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?
but where
[are] the nine?
LU-17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God,
save this
stranger.
LU-17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith
hath made thee
whole.
LU-17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God
should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with
observation:
LU-17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,
behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
LU-17:22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come,
when ye shall
desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall
not see [it].
LU-17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go
not after
[them], nor follow [them].
LU-17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one
[part] under
heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall
also the Son of
man be in his day.
LU-17:25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected
of this
generation.
LU-17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also
in the days of
the Son of man.
LU-17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they
were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the
flood came, and
destroyed them all.
LU-17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did
eat, they
drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
LU-17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained
fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.
LU-17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man
is revealed.
LU-17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and
his stuff in
the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is
in the field,
let him likewise not return back.
LU-17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
LU-17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it;
and whosoever
shall lose his life shall preserve it.
LU-17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in
one bed; the
one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
LU-17:35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall
be taken, and
the other left.
LU-17:36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the
other left.
LU-17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And
he said unto
them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be
gathered together.
LU-18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that
men ought always
to pray, and not to faint;
LU-18:2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not
God, neither
regarded man:
LU-18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto
him, saying,
Avenge me of mine adversary.
LU-18:4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said
within himself,
Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
LU-18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her,
lest by her
continual coming she weary me.
LU-18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
LU-18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day
and night unto
him, though he bear long with them?
LU-18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the
Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
LU-18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
themselves
that they were righteous, and despised others:
LU-18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the
other a publican.
LU-18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God,
I thank thee,
that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust,
adulterers, or even as
this publican.
LU-18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
LU-18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up
so much as
[his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God
be merciful to
me a sinner.
LU-18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
[rather] than
the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased;
and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
LU-18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would
touch them:
but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
LU-18:16 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer
little children
to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom
of God.
LU-18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of
God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
LU-18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master,
what shall I do
to inherit eternal life?
LU-18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
none [is] good,
save one, [that is], God.
LU-18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery,
Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and
thy mother.
LU-18:21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
LU-18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him,
Yet lackest
thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the
poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
LU-18:23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he
was very rich.
LU-18:24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said,
How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
LU-18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's
eye, than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
LU-18:26 And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
LU-18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men
are possible
with God.
LU-18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed
thee.
LU-18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is
no man that
hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children,
for the
kingdom of God's sake,
LU-18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present
time, and in the
world to come life everlasting.
LU-18:31 Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them,
Behold, we
go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the
prophets concerning
the Son of man shall be accomplished.
LU-18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall
be mocked,
and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
LU-18:33 And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death:
and the third
day he shall rise again.
LU-18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this
saying was hid
from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
LU-18:35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto
Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
LU-18:36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it
meant.
LU-18:37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
LU-18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have
mercy on me.
LU-18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should
hold his
peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of David, have
mercy on me.
LU-18:40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto
him: and when
he was come near, he asked him,
LU-18:41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And
he said, Lord,
that I may receive my sight.
LU-18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith
hath saved
thee.
LU-18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed
him, glorifying
God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto
God.
LU-19:1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
LU-19:2 And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which
was the chief
among the publicans, and he was rich.
LU-19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not
for the press,
because he was little of stature.
LU-19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree
to see him:
for he was to pass that [way].
LU-19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw
him, and said
unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I
must abide at thy
house.
LU-19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him
joyfully.
LU-19:7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That
he was gone
to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
LU-19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold,
Lord, the half
of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing
from any man by
false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.
LU-19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to
this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
LU-19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that
which was lost.
LU-19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a
parable,
because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that
the kingdom of
God should immediately appear.
LU-19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far
country to
receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
LU-19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten
pounds, and
said unto them, Occupy till I come.
LU-19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying, We
will not have this [man] to reign over us.
LU-19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having
received the
kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him,
to whom he
had given the money, that he might know how much every man had
gained by
trading.
LU-19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained ten pounds.
LU-19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because
thou hast
been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten
cities.
LU-19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath
gained five
pounds.
LU-19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five
cities.
LU-19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy
pound, which I
have kept laid up in a napkin:
LU-19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man:
thou takest up
that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
LU-19:22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I
judge thee,
[thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man,
taking up that
I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
LU-19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,
that at my
coming I might have required mine own with usury?
LU-19:24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the
pound, and
give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
LU-19:25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
LU-19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath
shall be given;
and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken
away from him.
LU-19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should
reign over
them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
LU-19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending
up to
Jerusalem.
LU-19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to
Bethphage and Bethany,
at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his
disciples,
LU-19:30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in
the which at
your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man
sat: loose him,
and bring [him hither].
LU-19:31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus
shall ye say
unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
LU-19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even
as he had
said unto them.
LU-19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof
said unto
them, Why loose ye the colt?
LU-19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
LU-19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their
garments upon the
colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
LU-19:36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
LU-19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of
the mount of
Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice
and praise God
with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
LU-19:38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name
of the Lord:
peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
LU-19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude
said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples.
LU-19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that,
if these should
hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
LU-19:41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
wept over it,
LU-19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in
this thy day,
the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now they are hid
from thine
eyes.
LU-19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies
shall cast a
trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on
every side,
LU-19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy
children within
thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;
because thou
knewest not the time of thy visitation.
LU-19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out
them that sold
therein, and them that bought;
LU-19:46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house
of prayer:
but ye have made it a den of thieves.
LU-19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief
priests and the
scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
LU-19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the
people were very
attentive to hear him.
LU-20:1 And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he
taught the
people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests
and the
scribes came upon [him] with the elders,
LU-20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority
doest thou
these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
LU-20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you
one thing;
and answer me:
LU-20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
LU-20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say, From
heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
LU-20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us:
for they be
persuaded that John was a prophet.
LU-20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it
was].
LU-20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what
authority I do
these things.
LU-20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A
certain man
planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went
into a far
country for a long time.
LU-20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen,
that they
should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen
beat him, and
sent [him] away empty.
LU-20:11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him
also, and
entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
LU-20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also,
and cast [him]
out.
LU-20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I
will send my
beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see
him.
LU-20:14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among
themselves,
saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the
inheritance may be
ours.
LU-20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him].
What
therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
LU-20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall
give the
vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God
forbid.
LU-20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that
is written, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head
of the corner?
LU-20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;
but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
LU-20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour
sought to lay
hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived
that he had
spoken this parable against them.
LU-20:20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which
should feign
themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words,
that so they
might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
LU-20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou
sayest and
teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any],
but teachest the
way of God truly:
LU-20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or
no?
LU-20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
Why tempt ye
me?
LU-20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath
it? They
answered and said, Caesar's.
LU-20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which
be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
LU-20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the
people: and
they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
LU-20:27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which
deny that there
is any resurrection; and they asked him,
LU-20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's
brother die,
having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother
should take his
wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
LU-20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first
took a wife, and
died without children.
LU-20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
LU-20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven
also: and they
left no children, and died.
LU-20:32 Last of all the woman died also.
LU-20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is
she? for seven
had her to wife.
LU-20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of
this world
marry, and are given in marriage:
LU-20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain
that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage:
LU-20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto
the angels;
and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection.
LU-20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the
bush, when he
calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and
the God of
Jacob.
LU-20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living:
for all live
unto him.
LU-20:39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master,
thou hast well
said.
LU-20:40 And after that they durst not ask him any [question at
all].
LU-20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is
David's son?
LU-20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The
Lord said unto my
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
LU-20:43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
LU-20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his
son?
LU-20:45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto
his disciples,
LU-20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long
robes, and love
greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the
chief room at feasts;
LU-20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long
prayers: the
same shall receive greater damnation.
LU-21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their
gifts into the
treasury.
LU-21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither
two mites.
LU-21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor
widow hath
cast in more than they all:
LU-21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the
offerings of
God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she
had.
LU-21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned
with goodly
stones and gifts, he said,
LU-21:6 [As for] these things which ye behold, the days will
come, in the
which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall
not be thrown
down.
LU-21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall
these things be?
and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
pass?
LU-21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for
many shall come
in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go
ye not
therefore after them.
LU-21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not
terrified: for
these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by
and by.
LU-21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:
LU-21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and
famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be
from heaven.
LU-21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on
you, and
persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into
prisons,
being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
LU-21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
LU-21:14 Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate
before what ye
shall answer:
LU-21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
LU-21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren,
and
kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be
put to death.
LU-21:17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.
LU-21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
LU-21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
LU-21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,
then know
that the desolation thereof is nigh.
LU-21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the
mountains; and let
them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them
that are in the
countries enter thereinto.
LU-21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things
which are
written may be fulfilled.
LU-21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck,
in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land,
and wrath upon
this people.
LU-21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and
shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of
the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
LU-21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon,
and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;
the sea and
the waves roaring;
LU-21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking
after those
things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven
shall be
shaken.
LU-21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a
cloud with power
and great glory.
LU-21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift
up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
LU-21:29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,
and all the
trees;
LU-21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own
selves that
summer is now nigh at hand.
LU-21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass,
know ye that
the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
LU-21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass
away, till all
be fulfilled.
LU-21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall
not pass away.
LU-21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this
life, and [so]
that day come upon you unawares.
LU-21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on
the face of
the whole earth.
LU-21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand
before the
Son of man.
LU-21:37 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and
at night he
went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the mount] of
Olives.
LU-21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to him in
the temple,
for to hear him.
LU-22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the
Passover.
LU-22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might
kill him; for
they feared the people.
LU-22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being
of the number
of the twelve.
LU-22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief
priests and
captains, how he might betray him unto them.
LU-22:5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
LU-22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him
unto them in
the absence of the multitude.
LU-22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the
passover must be
killed.
LU-22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us
the passover,
that we may eat.
LU-22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we
prepare?
LU-22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered
into the city,
there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow
him into the
house where he entereth in.
LU-22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The
Master saith
unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the
passover with my
disciples?
LU-22:12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished:
there make
ready.
LU-22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and
they made
ready the passover.
LU-22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the
twelve apostles
with him.
LU-22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to
eat this
passover with you before I suffer:
LU-22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof,
until it be
fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
LU-22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take
this, and
divide [it] among yourselves:
LU-22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of
the vine, until
the kingdom of God shall come.
LU-22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it],
and gave unto
them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in
remembrance
of me.
LU-22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup
[is] the new
testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
LU-22:21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is]
with me on the
table.
LU-22:22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined:
but woe unto
that man by whom he is betrayed!
LU-22:23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of
them it was
that should do this thing.
LU-22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them
should be
accounted the greatest.
LU-22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
exercise lordship
over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called
benefactors.
LU-22:26 But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest
among you, let
him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth
serve.
LU-22:27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or
he that
serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as
he that
serveth.
LU-22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my
temptations.
LU-22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed unto
me;
LU-22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and sit on
thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
LU-22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath
desired [to
have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
LU-22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
and when thou
art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
LU-22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,
both into
prison, and to death.
LU-22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not
crow this day,
before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
LU-22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse,
and scrip, and
shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
LU-22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse,
let him take
[it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let
him sell his
garment, and buy one.
LU-22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet
be
accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors:
for the
things concerning me have an end.
LU-22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords.
And he said unto
them, It is enough.
LU-22:39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the
mount of Olives;
and his disciples also followed him.
LU-22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray
that ye enter
not into temptation.
LU-22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast,
and kneeled
down, and prayed,
LU-22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup
from me:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
LU-22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
LU-22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and
his sweat was as
it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
LU-22:45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he
found them sleeping for sorrow,
LU-22:46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest
ye enter into
temptation.
LU-22:47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he
that was called
Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto
Jesus to kiss
him.
LU-22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son
of man with a
kiss?
LU-22:49 When they which were about him saw what would follow,
they said unto
him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
LU-22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest,
and cut off
his right ear.
LU-22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And
he touched his
ear, and healed him.
LU-22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains
of the temple,
and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as
against a thief,
with swords and staves?
LU-22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched
forth no hands
against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
LU-22:54 Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him
into the high
priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
LU-22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the
hall, and were
set down together, Peter sat down among them.
LU-22:56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire,
and earnestly
looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
LU-22:57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
LU-22:58 And after a little while another saw him, and said,
Thou art also of
them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
LU-22:59 And about the space of one hour after another
confidently affirmed,
saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a
Galilaean.
LU-22:60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
immediately,
while he yet spake, the cock crew.
LU-22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
remembered the
word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow,
thou shalt
deny me thrice.
LU-22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
LU-22:63 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote
[him].
LU-22:64 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on
the face, and
asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
LU-22:65 And many other things blasphemously spake they against
him.
LU-22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people
and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their
council, saying,
LU-22:67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them,
If I tell you,
ye will not believe:
LU-22:68 And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor
let [me] go.
LU-22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand
of the power of
God.
LU-22:70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And
he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
LU-22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness? for
we ourselves
have heard of his own mouth.
LU-23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate.
LU-23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this
[fellow]
perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar,
saying that
he himself is Christ a King.
LU-23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].
LU-23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the
people, I find no
fault in this man.
LU-23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up
the people,
teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this
place.
LU-23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man
were a
Galilaean.
LU-23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that
time.
LU-23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he
was desirous
to see him of a long [season], because he had heard many things
of him; and he
hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
LU-23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he
answered him
nothing.
LU-23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
accused him.
LU-23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and
mocked [him],
and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
LU-23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends
together: for
before they were at enmity between themselves.
LU-23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief
priests and the
rulers and the people,
LU-23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as
one that
perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him]
before you, have
found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye
accuse him:
LU-23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo,
nothing worthy of
death is done unto him.
LU-23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
LU-23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the
feast.)
LU-23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this
[man], and
release unto us Barabbas:
LU-23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for
murder, was
cast into prison.)
LU-23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake
again to them.
LU-23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.
LU-23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil
hath he done? I
have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise
him, and let
[him] go.
LU-23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that
he might be
crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests
prevailed.
LU-23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they
required.
LU-23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and
murder was cast
into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to
their will.
LU-23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one
Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that
he might bear
[it] after Jesus.
LU-23:27 And there followed him a great company of people, and
of women,
which also bewailed and lamented him.
LU-23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of
Jerusalem, weep not
for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
LU-23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they
shall say,
Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
paps which
never gave suck.
LU-23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on
us; and to
the hills, Cover us.
LU-23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what
shall be done in
the dry?
LU-23:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with
him to be put
to death.
LU-23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there
they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand,
and the other
on the left.
LU-23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they
do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
LU-23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also
with them
derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if
he be Christ,
the chosen of God.
LU-23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and
offering him
vinegar,
LU-23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save
thyself.
LU-23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in
letters of Greek,
and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
LU-23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on
him, saying,
If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
LU-23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not
thou fear God,
seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
LU-23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of
our deeds:
but this man hath done nothing amiss.
LU-23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy
kingdom.
LU-23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To
day shalt thou
be with me in paradise.
LU-23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a
darkness over all
the earth until the ninth hour.
LU-23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple
was rent in the
midst.
LU-23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said,
Father, into
thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up
the ghost.
LU-23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified
God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man.
LU-23:48 And all the people that came together to that sight,
beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
LU-23:49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed
him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
LU-23:50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a
counsellor; [and he
was] a good man, and a just:
LU-23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of
them;) [he
was] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited
for the
kingdom of God.
LU-23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of
Jesus.
LU-23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid
it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid.
LU-23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew
on.
LU-23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,
followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
LU-23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments;
and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.
LU-24:1 Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the
morning, they
came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and
certain [others] with them.
LU-24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
LU-24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord
Jesus.
LU-24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed
thereabout, behold,
two men stood by them in shining garments:
LU-24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces
to the earth,
they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
LU-24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you when he
was yet in Galilee,
LU-24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
LU-24:8 And they remembered his words,
LU-24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these
things unto the
eleven, and to all the rest.
LU-24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the
mother] of James,
and other [women that were] with them, which told these things
unto the
apostles.
LU-24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them
not.
LU-24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and
stooping down, he
beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,
wondering in
himself at that which was come to pass.
LU-24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a
village called
Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.
LU-24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
LU-24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed
[together] and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
LU-24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know
him.
LU-24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications
[are] these
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
LU-24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering
said unto
him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known
the things
which are come to pass there in these days?
LU-24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto
him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed
and word
before God and all the people:
LU-24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him
to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
LU-24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were
done.
LU-24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which
were early at the sepulchre;
LU-24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying,
that they had
also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
LU-24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre, and
found [it] even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
LU-24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all
that the prophets have spoken:
LU-24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to
enter into
his glory?
LU-24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he
expounded unto them
in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
LU-24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
and he made
as though he would have gone further.
LU-24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for
it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with
them.
LU-24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he
took bread, and
blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.
LU-24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out
of their sight.
LU-24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn
within us,
while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us
the scriptures?
LU-24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to
Jerusalem, and found
the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
LU-24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to
Simon.
LU-24:35 And they told what things [were done] in the way, and
how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.
LU-24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the
midst of them,
and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.
LU-24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed
that they had
seen a spirit.
LU-24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts
arise in your hearts?
LU-24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
handle me, and
see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
LU-24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his]
hands and [his]
feet.
LU-24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered,
he said unto
them, Have ye here any meat?
LU-24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
LU-24:43 And he took [it], and did eat before them.
LU-24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I
spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were
written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the
psalms,
concerning me.
LU-24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the
scriptures,
LU-24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ
to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
LU-24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his
name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
LU-24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
LU-24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye
in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high.
LU-24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he
lifted up his
hands, and blessed them.
LU-24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was
parted from them,
and carried up to heaven.
LU-24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem
with great joy;
LU-24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and
blessing God.
Amen.
